The question...........

"marsman 13
If the car was assembled 4th week of Feb, why does it have a engine, rear axle, and trans dated March? The first paragraph does not say original engine. ….302ci V8 paired with a numbers-matching Muncie four-speed…?"

The answer............

@marsman i cant answer why it is like that but i can tell you that the engine matches exactly what is on the ORIGINAL PROTECT O PLATE… the partial vin is stamped down by the oil filter, and the front pad has the same numbers the protect o plate says it should have…i feel this car has the ORIGINAL engine and All ORIGINAL Components! if you look in the pictures you will see the partial vin stamp and another pic of front pad and pic of the protect o plate"

Because this is one of those build periods that was delayed and cars got drivetrain components that were dated after the body date.
There is nothing wrong with the dates on the drivetrain of this car.

My understanding is that 02D ran from about Feb 19 to Mar 14. The ending VINs were N614xxx which is the same as this car. That would make the drivetrain dates perfect. They could just order a shipping report...

Maybe William will chime in here, I probably learned this from him anyway.



EDIT: they posted a screen shot for the shipping report order. March 14 so there it is.
